1/2" UPVC Anti-Corrosive Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
The PAC-15 1/2" UPVC Anti-Corrosive Solenoid Valve is a two-way, pilot-operated, normally closed electric solenoid valve designed for automatic on/off control of compatible corrosive liquids and gases. Its UPVC body, stainless steel internal components, and Viton® seals provide corrosion resistance for chemical handling, water treatment, and industrial fluid control applications where conventional metal valve bodies may be unsuitable. The non-metallic UPVC body is particularly useful in systems handling chlorinated water, saltwater, mild acids, and alkalis at compatible concentrations.
This 1/2" chemical-resistant solenoid valve features female NPT threaded ports, a 15 mm orifice, and a Cv of 4.8, delivering approximately 37 GPM at 60 psi. Its normally closed operation keeps the valve shut when power is removed and opens when the solenoid coil is energized. The pilot-operated design supports reliable flow control in systems with adequate operating pressure. Available electrical configurations include 110V AC, 220V AC, and 24V DC, with low power consumption of 5 VA for AC coils and 7 W for the DC coil. The valve supports continuous-duty operation and has a response time of less than one second.
Common Applications
- Chemical dosing and injection systems for low-concentration chemicals
- Water treatment and filtration equipment handling chlorinated water
- Chlorine injection and feed systems
- Saltwater circulation and distribution lines
- Cooling tower water control with minor chemical additives
- Reverse osmosis systems handling pre-treated water
- Agricultural irrigation and fertigation systems
- Industrial cleaning and washdown systems using mild chemical agents
- Process-fluid recirculation loops
- Rinse water systems in light manufacturing and non-aggressive plating applications
- Wastewater treatment and compatible chemical handling systems
Installation
- Install using the 1/2" female NPT threaded connections and follow the flow direction indicated on the valve body.
- The valve supports vertical or horizontal mounting.
- Avoid highly concentrated acids, strong oxidizers, highly abrasive chemicals, steam, and high-temperature oils.
- Flush piping before installation and periodically inspect seals in chemical dosing applications.
The PAC-15 provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to conventional metal solenoid valves for compatible chemical and water-based applications.
*Always verify chemical compatibility and operating conditions before selecting the valve.
